Hello,

is there really noone who can help us?

This night the message was again in the log - but this time it was at
the time the backup with gbak started. The backup was done completely
but where does this message come from?

The first time this message appeared (at the sweep-time) the server
hung and we needed to restart.

We need help.

Thanks

Tobias
